maybe thats because you can't clean enough to make it a leg workout.

no it doesnt, and even if you choose to drive with your legs, it is most certainly not a leg "workout."

nonono. pull the bar to your belly button, make sure you are leaning over far enough, and rather than trying to "pull the bar up," focus on arcing your elbows back like you want them to touch above your back. try it a few times with just the bar, really slow and really squeeze your lats. if...

somewhere around there. I don't own a tapemeasure. I do thick bar holds, and barbell wrist curls. I have small bone structure, so they look larger than they are.

Jerk is total body- bench is king of upper body, because it works almost all of your upper body. after a good bench session, i feel it in my triceps, chest, lats, traps, and shoulders. I have packed on an unbelieveable amount of mass with this exercise. it is the best movement you can do that...

I hope your not the one in the middle as i say this... but look at how the one in the middle is posing... her shoulderblades- ugh hahaha

I agree. I used to suck at BB, and still do- but rather than not do it and say how bad it is like a ton of people on this board *couh* *you know who you are* *cough* i decided to work on my weakness, and have found it to be my favorite mass builder along with deadlifts.

I am starting to get frustrated with this new trend in people hating on the bench press. Bench press is THE KING of upper body movements. everybody just wants to try to be different.

you can pick up weightlifting fairly quick, you just can't sling record numbers right off the bat.

Yeah you need a trainer. and a good one, not one thats going to pressure you into going pro too early so they can make money off you. its a meat market.

I was once really skinny like you. hardest part of getting bigger for me was having enough commitment to let my abs dissappear for a while. I hate getting fat when i bulk...

you dont need whey. Eat as you please. if you have trouble eating enough meat, then you need protein.

maybe your just not giving it enough time. you dont just gain 10 pounds in a month all that often. try drinking more water. half to 3/4 a gallon a day. you could just be dehydrated. also, maybe your not getting all the minerals you need. do you eat your vegetables and fruits?

water has no calories. i only drink soda, because it has lots of sugar which makes many caolries for me. beer too. beer has lots of good calories too. I never thought about koolaid, but ill give that a try.

clean and jerks, snatch, push press, hang cleans, and isolateral bench press. Id also do some plyometrics. doo a google hit on plyometrics to find out what they are, if you dont know.

I wish i could... Shoulders are my weakest point, and i think that my shoulder and traps are limiting my gains on other parts of my body. kudos to those of you who can!:clapping:

get on some high pulleys and push the cables down and infront of you. another great chest exercise is getting on low pulleys and bringing your hands with in an inch of each other infront of your belly button (arms extended) and then bringing both of your hands eye level - all one movement. i...

people argue about push presses, but im going to agree with you. I Love it as a mass builder. Maybe you could do 1 set of standing BB military, and then the following two sets jump the weight way up and do a push press. also.... shurgs on a smith? thats just ignant. bb shrugs are amazing!

Its worth it. You can still make them bigger so they look better when your bodyfat gets down. Also, its good to have strong abs to keep your back healthy.
